Figure 4 Wall motion (WM) score index (WMSI) (upper panel) and left ventricular (LV) length WML/LV length (%) (lower panel) at 24 h, 1 week, and 6 months in control patients (white bars) and thrombus aspiration patients (black bars). At each time point, both WM parameters are significantly reduced by thrombus-aspiration device (upper panel: *p < 0.005 vs. control patients, lower panel: *p < 0.05 vs. control patients). In both groups, a significant reduction of WM score over time has been observed at 1 week and 6 months ( p = 0.0001 vs. 24 h). At 1 week and 6 months, WM/LV length was also reduced in controls (p < 0.005 vs. 24 h) and in thrombus aspiration ( p < 0.0005 vs. 24 h).
